I just installed the "secure" version of Netscape off of the "US Only" download site.

Seems that it is actualy the international version and not the 128 bit version.

What makes you think you got the export version?

Here's one way to find out. If you look in the Security Preferences panel under the Options menu, there are two "Configure" buttons for configuring what ciphers are enabled for SSL 2 and SSL 3. The domestic version supports a greater variety of options, including triple DES.

I connected to my site running Stronghold 1.3b1. Only got 40 bit encryption. I then connected to Netscape's Store site. Only got 40 bit encryption. I checked the info box (or about box, I don't remember which) for the connection and it claimed to be running the "exportable" version. (The Win95 version connects properly to both sites with no tweaking needed.)

I will double check, but neither site would connect with 128 bits straight out of the tar file.

My apologies to everyone involved! I fucked up! There was a period of time between when I downloaded and when I installed. The version I installed was not the one I installed from the secure site. (I had thought I had not downloaded the 3.0b5 version for Linux, except for the secure version. It seems that I had downloaded it when the first version of 3.0b5 came out, not the 3.0b5a version...)
